Re: Poll: How Do You Pronounce These Pokémon-Related Words?

OrangeSoda

I am honestly surprised that there's any confusion over Linoone. Rhymes with Zigzagoon, replacing zigzag with line (especially with the whole thing of how both run in straight lines and zigzags, respectively).

Sudowoodo is obviously (to me anyway) Pseudo-wood, with an extra oh because it's a playful sorta-kinda rhyme.

And even though I consider it incorrect, I'm surprised the Regice poll doesn't have an option for the incredibly common (in my experience) "Redgi-ice". So common, some people even mistakenly spell it with 2 consecutive I's.

Re: Colossal Legendary Regigigas Appearing In Pokémon GO EX Raids Next Month

I don't think all future events will be locked behind a paywall. I think this kind of thing will probably be limited to special research with the launch of EX raid bosses, which I don't mind, because I don't raid anywhere near enough to reliably get EX raid passes, and when I do, they're almost always at a time when I have to be at work anyway.

Re: Feature: Pokémon, Zelda, Mario, Metroid... Nintendo’s Biggest Bugs, Glitches And Errors

I remember when I felt really clever finding a glitch in Mario 64 after running around the circular section of the castle exterior's central spire and then jump-lunging into the front wall. Jumped through the wall and fell to the other side of the door, which I could run around in, and if you went through the door from this side, you'd end up with the interior of the castle, but on the outside of the door. You could jump through the wall from there and resume normal gameplay.

Re: Random: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Is About Video Games, So Don't Expect Goku Or Iron Man

Goku can go and... I probably shouldn't finish that sentence.

If I were to care about characters of non-gaming origins, I'd go with Batman and Mickey Mouse. Mickey in particular has had several video games that a unique moveset could be crafted from: the costume abilities of the SNES games, the butt stomp from Castle of Illusion, the paintbrush from Epic Mickey.

No matter though. I'm also with Team Shantae.

I'd also prefer no more boring fighting game characters. Keep Smash Weird.
